SUMMER ASSIZES. NORTHERN CIRCUIT—YORK, MONDAY, Jtax 17. cavir. SIDE. THE WHIT OE RIGHT CAVSE.-ANGEI , V. ANGEL. This day the Court was excessively crowded in censequenee of the appointment of this cause, which has been the means of such extensive litigation, and has excited so much interest throughout this county. Tire question is simply this, divested of all its legal technicali-. ties and immense MSS of proof. A writ of right has, been ob-. turned by a Mr. William Angel, after a very litiguoue procees, against a Mr.„Betiodict John An ed. _Angel calling upon him to surrender up certain estates, and other property (we believe the dues payable at the River Humber). The demandant avers that the plaintiff has no claim, and that be has himself, as the descendant of the elder brother ; upon this issue has been joined, anti the re spective parties have to traverse the records of their ancestry as far hack as rLIIt, when the first marriage took place. 'The prOperty is said to be worth 20,0001. per year. There are an immense number of witnesses, above SOO, to be examined, and as to the duration of the case, it is impossible to form any determinate idea. The Jury is a special one, and was returned by . four Knights of the Shire,, who appeared girt withswords, and who .form part of the Jury, making the number 16. Tlw case Was opened by the Attorney-General, and was not near a conclusitin when the Mail left York._' The Counsel for the Defendant are, the Attorney-Cieneral, and Messrs. Polloek,'Patterson, Alderson, and Baines; for the Plain tiff, Meters. Brougham, Seeded, Tyndel, Parke, Archbold, Wyld, and Raines. Mr. Baron Huttocie passed sentence to-day i—Morsh, Town, and. Miller s tin; rioters at Adalingham, had sentence of death reeortled against: them; William Freeman, for having forged notes ill he; possession, fourteen years' transportation ; Martin West, for passing forged notes, death.---None, however, were left for execution.

The' proclamation which had just been read to them displayed the anxiety of his Majesty and his' Privy Council for the'encouragement of piety and virtue, and for the suppression of Vice, , profimeness and immorality; and he was assured that sue h of them as were magistrates hitherto had lent, and would continiu still to lend, their effective aid to carry into execution the object of that most wire and gracious proclamation. Ile would not detain them in longer from their duty at: present; but would leave them at liberty to find inch bills as might be brought before them. The Grand Jury then retired, and Shortly afterwards returned several bills ; lint none of the cases tried pos sessed the slightest interest. STAFFORD, A- 1 . ONDAY, JULY Pl. CIVIL SIDE. Inn A POTHICARIP.S 3 COMPANY V. PFNNTIYOUGM • This was an action brought by the London Apothem- ries' Company against Mr. Joseph 'Fernyhotigh; to recover penalties ender the Act of the 55th George 111., for the better regulation of the practice of Apothecaries of Eng land and Wales, he having practised sance.the lst of Au gust, 1815, without the regular certificate. ' Mr. Justice .Burrough, mw oriming up the evidence to the jury, said, that tini only ,pw,,i-nnt Wll6, 'l ' o . lttier the defendant hiid practised as an apothecary on his own co i-» duct before the Ist of August, 1815; for if he did, then there Was an end of the case, he being, under such eircurn starlet% excepted froin s the penal operation of the last Act of Parliament for the better regulation of the trade of apo theearit;s; and their' decision upon that fad entirely de fended On the credit which they attached to the testimony an support of the articles of partnership with Sutton. The 'Jury, after a short consultation, found a verdict for the defendant.' This cause occupied ;he Court from nine o'clock (I‘, the ratting mail six o'cloclt, in the evening. 6311111 v, 311t0IIMITON.

Il i, e papers containing the libellous paragraph and the defence, which averred that the statements were substan tially correct, were read, And put in as evidence. Mr. Jeffery thew addressed the Jury on the part of the defenders. He considered this ketion as an ill-advised', and improper snit, and to that conclusion he was confi. dent the Jury would come, when the whole case was laid before them, It' blame was to be attached to any party for the unfortunate exposure that must take place, by far the weightiest part of that blame must rest with the individual who had forced the matter into a court of law.— He (Mr. Jeffery), appeared to protect an honest trades man in the exercise of a lawful right, which he used for the. benefit of the public; and to the jury, as part of that public, did he look for protection by a verdict in fa„- 'your of free discussion. The Learned Oentleman pointed .out what were matters of fair discussion, and contended t'liat,in,•this libel there was no malicious intention. The ollire of rector in all Scots Universities was:filled by popu lar election, but in St. Andrew's, by inveterate usage, the 'appointment had been confined to the Professors. The students, however, had been guilty of the presumption of thinking, that the name of Sir Walter Scott, was more glorious than that of Professor Alexander, and they, or a majority of them, elected that ornament of Scottish li terature to the office of Rector. Who could blame the youths in glorying in such a name, or in endeavouring to identify it with their College; or who could blame his client for sympathising. with them ? It could not be denied—nay, it had been proved by the pursuer himself— that considerable disorder and noise took place on that occasion, and that an interruption was given to the or dinary course of teaching. The Editor of the Dundee paper—published just across the Tay from St. Andrew's —taking an interest in a matter of public notoriety, pub lished several paragraphs on'the general question, not one of which was found fault with-that is, not one of them 'had been Made the subject of an action—he put in the one complained of, not as iin attacks on an individual, but as an incident arising out of the Rectorial dispute, AVllleh had been particularly noticed in the antecedent publication.— Bat even if there had been any thing injurious in the pa ragraph which it is alleged formed a libel, its sting was taken out by a subsequent paragraph, which was pub lished two clays before any complaint as to that of the 24th March had reached his clients. The Lord Chief Commissioner, with great elearaess and impartiality, charged the Jury, stating that it was not a case of law, but of evidence. 'The jury then retired, and after an absence of fifty minutes, returned with an unanimous verdict for the pur suer—Damages 504 Counsel for Professor Alexander—H. Cockburn. and P. Robertson, Esqrs.

Professor Malthus and his family were in Court during the whole Pa , CUTION . . Of LEONARD WILKFNSON, at YORK, on MONDAY, for the MURDER of VR. NICHOLAS CARTER. This forenoon, at twelve o'clock, this wretched culprit paid the forfeit of his life for the atrocious murder of Mr, - Curter. Since his conviction (and indeed from the moment of his arrival in the Castle) he has devoted himself to reli. gious exercise, and ' was much assisted by. Mr: Carlisle, who was last Thursday acquitted • of the manslaughter of Mr. Blackburne, that gentleman having humanely given him every instruction as to the nature of penitential prayers, and its effect hereafter. He expressed his belief that his hopes in this world were but trifling, and the certainty of 4 1 :is being hanged during the. Atieizes was more thanprobable. During' ,the brief interval of . time, from Friday to this morning, he seemed .anxious to , hear prayers read, and joined with apparent ferVour in the penitential Psalms ar ranged for persons in his awful predicament.: He parted with his parents and a girl to' whom he was to have been married, In this course of Sunday, and that parting,was Imarked with` that .tleseriptinit of thrilling anti agomitini grief which too sorrowfully mark those most affecting in- Aerviews. The cell in which be was confined was, in point of space, much limited, and - its gloomy appearance was well calculated to bring . the unhappy wretch back to the dark recollect lima of his guilty career. However, it is rae ther singular that, amid • the , horrors of his situation, he never lost his appetite, but devoured every thing eatable in a most voracious manner. He slept well at night, and from his placid countenance, and quietness (if demeanour, it could not be supposed that he could cemmit so foal and deliberate a murder. This morning, at ten o'clock, he was attended by the' Chaplain; he appeared very:collected mid firm, and joined in some Psalms with much fervour, winging the responsea with great firmness. At the ,conclusion, Mr. Shepherd, the gaoler, ordered him to be pinioned, and from that suns- meant he lost all his eelf.possession, and bursting into tears, cried with the greatest bitterness, without intermission,. for,the remaining two hours of his existence. He had di. rented those books of prayer and Scripture which had been given to hint to be divided amongst his family, and ordered a Bible to be given to the girl whom he styled his sweetheart. Mr.. Under-Sheriff Brookes, by the may; gave a most uncourteowi refusal to.. the gentlemen connected with the London and provineiel press, of per, mission to enter the interior of the Castle, in order more faithfully to report the previous ceremony of the execu tion. However, through the kindness of Mr. Shepherd, a situation (from which all that passed could be seen) was brocured for them. The unhappy • man heing diaencum. ared of his chains, was led from a room or ward to the pt a tform. He cried as he walked along . with evident anguish and sorrow, and appeared so. extremely weak . as scarcely to be able to proceed, he , was therefore led by two persons connected • with the awful ceremony. His dress was somewhat peculiar, being a red witistcoat with shaloon sleeves of the seine colour ; antrpatent coal breeches. At a few mutates to IV he was placed on the sestifold, and knelt 'down with his face to the Castle walls. The Rnv. Mr. Flower then read the limy, , penitential prayers, ttte. During the reading of this, the Unhappy man displayed the utmost bitterness of sorrow, and seemed ite if seized with a violent shivering fit, which so increased upon him that it was fotind necessary to support him to prevent his fall. big on his face: Towerde the conclusion he appeared. to revive, but again lost his se possession, and appeared almost itt A state of stupor when the lify : Clergyman said, ---" In a moment, in the twinkling of an eyr, we shall he changed." The burial-service being concluded, he was raised upon his feet, still having his back to the immense crowd, and his face to the wall, and a rutflanly-looking— old man dressed in a ragged white coat, rather hastily ran out and threw a white cloth intended for a cep, but having tn.pre the appearance of a pillow-case, over the wretched man'a face and head, and then placed the noose Of the rope which had been already appended to the fatal beam,round his neck', and tyinga cord round his legs, diaappeered al. most as suddenly as he eame.

THE CONFESSION OF WILKINSON. I went to the place to stop Nichol Carter, intending to rob him, and got a large rail from the hedge, which being too long, I broke it in half, keeping the. longest piece in my, hand. I saw him coming slowly along on his galloway, and hid myself till be passed. I then went j behind him, and knocked him off his horse, and he cried— "Oh ! for God's sake, don't kill .me !" I struck him 'another blow on the head, which broke the 'rail in two. He was then senseless, and I robbed him. I tore up the draft,' and threw the fragments away close to Fingall Clutrch. I hid the money in the hollow of the tree; the rest is already known, and hope God will forgive Me!". He bad written some letters to his friends previous to * his conviction, imploring their pardon and forgiveness. His CONPESSION.—(From a Correspondent.) the .wret c h e d man has con ducted Sinehistn himself e condemnation, and been beep extremely penitent. He confessed that be had no accomplices—that he did the dreadful deed himself, with the rail brought into Court; that finding it was too long at first, he broke it in half, and having secreted himself, he struck at the deceased as he passed along the lane, when he fell off his horse; that when he was on the ground he struck him again, and the stick broke, which accounts for its being in three pieces ; that when on the ground he rifled his pockets, the de ceased exclaiming, " Oh God ! oh God!" and that the reason why he perpetrated the bloody act was, he said, because his sweetheart refused to marry hint, unless his debts were paid. On Saturday he gave his clothes to his mother and brother, of whom he took his last farewell yeSterday morning, as also of his sweetheart; at which meeting his mother used these remarkable words :—" Thou west an honest /act—thou dids't it to pay that debts, and God will forgive thee !" A vast concourse oispectators witnessed the execution. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Slit-I have felt surprise and regret at reading the let ter which has appeared in your's, and in other Papers, as written, not long since, by Sir Walter Scott, to the French translator of the Waverley Novels. I have no more information than is possessed by the public in gene rid concerning the authorship of those celebrated works. For a time I had considered the matter as admitting of a possible doubt, and had thought it not absolutely impossible that the world might be indebted to some mysterious pen; other than that of Sir. Walter Scott, for the entertainment and the instruc tion which these works have afforded; but it is some, years since I have been able to consider this as morally possible. It has for some years appeared to me impossible that any gentleman should allow the world to assign to him, undeservedly, such high and such lasting honour as must be the share of the supposed Author of " Wavcrley," without coming forward with such explicit disavowid, as should put an end at once to such misap plied tribute of admiration and esteem. I. have also thought that there was no living author (very few dead ones) who could afford to forego the fame due to the pa rent of such offspring; whilst this could not be said to be the case with him, to whom they were with such com mon consent assigned; and it has appeared to me pretty obvious that the lapse of a few years, or the death of one or two individuals would render the mistake of the world, if mistaken it could be, irremoveable. Under these impressions, I have, as I have observed, con sidered the fact of Sir. Walter Scott being the author of Waverley, as established beyond reasonable doubt ; nor will such letters us the one to which I have alluded, in any deg ree remove that I neither know, nor care, for Sir Walter's motives for not avowing his authorship of the works in 'question, 'Vile be the author of them ; nor should I, for one, make any complaint of his silence on the subject ; but when I see him now and then putting "forth szwh denials as the present, I cannot forbear express ing my individual sentiment s that, if we are all mistaken, we ought to receive some better assurance of it than we have yet had, and which, it cannot be difficult for Sir Walter to give : or that, it we are izot mistaken, such de !lies are a trifling With the public, unworthy of the " ilathor of Waverley."--1 am, Sir, Your constant Reader, 14th July, 181t3. - " ' Z. FRENCH PAPERS. (From the Etoilt of Monday.) PARIS, JULY 16,--O►►r letters from Bayonne say,— " The accounts from Lisbon of the sth announce that every thing was tranquil. The new Constitution was not yet klown ; and the arrival of the English frigate Dia mondlvus, impatiently expected. This frigate, which has Sir Charles Stuart on board, sailed from Brazil at the same time as a Portuguese corvette, which arrived at Lis bon on the third.

" " FRANKFORT, July 9.--Up to the 131 St of June there had not been any new re-action at Constantinople. The standard of the Prophet which was planted in the fore court of the Seraglio, had been removed iota' the Mosque of Aehmet, formerly the Church of St. Sophia.

The French Papers of Sunday, including the. Etoile dated Monday morning, have put us in possession of much interesting matter relative to the affitirs of Turkey. In another column we have given at full length, the Official Note of the Ottoman Porte, addressed to M. MINZIACKY, Charge d'Affaires of Russia, dated the 13th • May last, in answer to the Russian " Ultimatum ;" and although this docu ment does ,not disclose any thing which was not pre viously known, it possess es a hi g h i nterest as a speci men of Turkish diplomacy, and of the state of humi liation to which the Porte had been reduced. It eqe: ecueee: aret4iene ti conferences not likely, will be seen by a perusal of this paper, that the Porte had previously signified its submission to the principal demands of Russia by a verbal communication, and that the object of the Note was as much to justify the previous grounds of refusal, as to express the reasons of the Porte for now consenting to the conditions pro- Posed. 14 tone is certainly that of moderation ; and it seems to profess a sincere desire for the settlement Provincestb being in g previous: therefore, yi e o ar eng agreed oe t r l e i ed e , of the differences existing between the two Countries ; namely, the state of the frontier Danube—the imprisonment of the Servian Deputies, between the and the construction of former treaties—but it pro ceeds also on the assumption, that the negociation them. il l: pe a ni ll nn : be Tlitiniei withoutt e a d c t affairs I (o 7 tfh p ce r ir e r mixed with Plenipotentiaries of the two Ein!res : and we shall to be touched upon look witfi much anxiety to the effect which the late at th e insurrection at Constantinople may have on their dis cussions, _, . 1 , We publish also in Another colunul, other extracts from the French Journals. An article from Frankfort furnishes intelligence from Constantinople to the 21st June up to vThiqt tame, there appears not to have Deen any re-action m that city, lhe hiandaril of the Prophet was still flying, The total number of Janis saries killed during the insurrection is said to amount to 20,000 or '21,000. The Corps Diplomatique at P e r a were unable to the f • procure means o making early communications to their respective courts of the events which were passing, and it was only on the 19th June that our Ambassador could dispatch letters to this country. The accounts from Lisbon come down to the sth instant, when all was quiet. The new constitution was not known, and the arrival of his Majesty's ship, .Dianzond, with his Excellency Sir C. STUART, was impatiently looked for. Among the matters contained in the French Papers relating to France itself, we find a speech of M. LA F I T TE, at a Special Meeting of the French Chamber of Commerce, in which he drew a very deplorable picture of the State of Trade and Manufactures in France, and ascribed the evil to want of confidence among the Capitalists. It seems rather surprising as Capitalists, both in this Country and France, have dis covered that the only cause of all the evils which have recently existed, and which have so peculiarly pressed upon themselves, arises from want of confidence towards each other, that they do not immediately agree to bring back the halcyon days which they pre viously enjoyed, to the delight of their own class, and that of all other of his MAJESTY'S liege subjects. -We suspect, however, that the wound is more deeply seated than to be thus cured. The accounts from Stockholm, down to the 27th of June, piesent a melancholy picture of the effect of the heat and drought in Sweden. The following is taken from the last French Papers:— The heat and drought which has prevailed here without inter mission for seven weeks, have nearly reduced us to despair. Every hope of harvest is vanished. The trees in our gardens are whit+ out fruit, and almost with - out foliage ; the fields present no traces of verdure, and the ears of corn burnt up by the sun, are visibly perishing. To this melancholy prospect is added, within the last three days, a darkness of the horixon,which is covered with smoker proceeding from the fires which have broken out in two different forests, one about two and the other three miles from this capital. It is even apprehended that to stop the progress of the flames, it will be necessary to breakdown the bridges on the north side of the city. During the celebration of the solemn ceremonies on the 10th instant, in the Church of Werholm, on occasion of the churching of the Princess Royal, the fortresses were to fire 128 rounds of cannon ; but on the thirty-sixth shot being discharged, a wagg"a of ammuuition took fire, and blew up ! Nine individuals ill" been more or less injured, anti some of them are now death. l l ' Hotel of the Commander took fire at the same time, but the flame! very fortunately were soon extinguished. 30th -- . -The fire in the forts/as has been subdued after very great exertions. It has consumed a space of about a mile and a halfia circumference. Intelligence'from Corfu to the 20th June, contained in the French Papers, mentions that those parts of Epirus and Macedonia, which have remained hitherto inactive in the affairs of Greece, are in open insurrec tion. From Janina to Durazzo on the one side, and on the other as far as Ocrida, the mountains are stated to be filled with armed bands, who denounce ves geance agamst their oppressors. This feeling appeals to have been excited by some recent instances of op pression and cruelty on the part ,of the Turks of Janina, and it is added that in Middle Albania, Chris tians, Albanians, and Mahometans, have all declared, that they will no longer acknowledge Sultan, Vizier, or Pacha, and some Envoys from the Porte are said to have been assassinated. The French papers add that— On the news of these movements., the Turks of Costoria, - after having murdered the Archbishop of that town, with many in offensive Christians, and pulled down or burned the churches, advanced upon the beautiful colony of San Marina, which they sacked. The inhabitants having had timely warning of the designs of the barbarians, attacked and defeated them on their retreat, after which they burned the town of Aniselitxas, and other Turkish villages in that country. Other disorders are spoken of in the environs of Ocrida, and as far as Scodra, where we are assured there have been many serious skirmishes. It appears certain that wherever there are Christians and Turks that war is inevite ble, it being impossible that the same ground can nourish the oppressed anti the oppressors, and that it can only be terminated , as the Sultan Mahmoud has declared, by the extirpation of Chris tianity ; for he calculates too much on the assistance of the ll* Alliance, that it will not sacrifice the children of Jesus Christ ee the legitimacy of the successors of Mahomet, and the &Tip • • les ci the Koran. All interference the Greeks know to be only a stet' tagem to deliver them to the Turkish sabre : there is no alterar tine for them but independence or death. We observe that is again stated in the French P 4 ' pers, under the head of Barcelona, July 8, that 11, 4 Spanish Government have appointed Commodore FREYRE D'ANDRADE, Commander in Chief of th° Naval force, confining his operations frOm Cape St. Vie . cent to Cape Gatte ; and that several vessels, being o w e cruising between the two Capes, for the protection e' the coasting trade, most of the Colombian privatere have left these parts, to cruise beyond Cape COW 10 Cape Saron. The same article from Barcelona mentions, that t he ne ws received f rom P ortugal has caused a very re sensation there ; and that, although the violent l; olists comfortthemselv es by saying that the events' Portugal ; will not have th e smallest influence on Sloi n ; yet, from what th e y h ear f rom Madrid, it would see n : that the Gove rnment enterta i n a very different opin° Hie Majesty's frigate Druid, arrived at Port - " e ' Prince the 24th May, with Mr. CHARLES KENZIE, his Britannic Majesty's Consul-Gener al t ° Hayti, who was received with every public demootry tion of respect. The Druid sailed for Jaulaie 4' 29th, at which period Mr. MAcKzarztE was busl i engaged in frami ng a commercial Treaty, upon a hs'zs , of mutual ad vantage to t h e two countries, and wh i ch it was confidently hoped, would much advance the Pry tish Commercial interest in that quarter.

The organs of the Austrian Govern ! ment have themselves declared that the changes which brought about the said massacre were called for by the Ambassadors of the Christian Powers at Constantinople. The chief glory of the affair is, however, to be ascribed to the agent of Austria. The interest which this indolent Power seems to take in upholding the integrity of the Sultan's dominions, is too well known to require further notice ' • it may, hoW ever, he. worth while to observe, that all political views apart, the newly projected organization of the Turkish army would turn out to be particularly advantageous to the commercial speculations of the Austrian ma .nufacturers, who have supplied the necessaries of equipment and costume to those troops that were to be disciplined after the European fashion. It is a fact that, within a very short period, a great quantity of cloth has been spld to the Turks by those manufacturers; to such a degree, that the warehouses which had been quite filled at Vienna, Trieste, and those maritime places which trade to the Levant, are now completely emptied. So that without the least exaggeration, it may be fairly said that the mas sacre of so many human beings has been brought about merely to enable the manufacturers of Austria to sell a few ells of cloth more than they otherwise would have sold.— But notwithstanding all this, it is doubtful whether the tot tering basis of the Ottoman Empire will be made firmer by such policy—whether the other European Powers, and 'particularly Russia, will agree to such a system of things. In the first instance, the Pachas and Governors of Pro vinces will find much difficulty in executing the orders of the Grand Seignior, even where most willing to do so, for the .Janissaries and Timariots, comprised in the re form, constitute almost the entire of the armed force in the provinces; and so far as regards the Cabinet of St. Petersburgh, it would be supposing a blind abandonment of its dearest interests, to think that it would admit with satisfaction the project of raising the. Porte to the rank of a first rate power, for the sole purpose of being'a counter poise to, its own preponderance in the balance of power in Europe. (From the Monitcur of Sunday.)
